COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Four is truly a light yet flavorful beer. The recipe uses a good portion of wheat and incorporates a sour mash into the process to make it slightly tart and extra refreshing. It has delicate aromas and flavors that span a range of floral, grassy and herbal notes. The finish is extra dry and makes the beer a great beverage to pair with food, especially various cheeses and shellfish.
Malts: organic pale, organic wheat, organic munich

American saison, at Borefts. Very thick, dense, frothy, towering snow white head on top of a pale yellow beer with greenish hue, cloudy all over. Aroma of lemon zest, white pepper, dry hay, bready wheat, gooseberry, sourdough, field flowers - reasonably ’saison-esque’ indeed. Dryish fruity taste with pleasant sourish accents of lemon, kiwi and soapy starfruit, bit bready, doughy even, with a long, florally and grapefruity hop bitterness in the end, aromatic and drying, but pairing well with the yeasty fruitiness and the bready maltiness. Very quenching, and isn’t that the first intention of a 4.5% ABV saison?

Pours golden yellow, a bit pale with a 1 finger sized head Smells straight up lemonade, lots of rose pedals, and wheat. Taste is really light and floral, a touch of tropical hops, a hint of cloves, lots of yeast, and a touch of lemon. It is highly carbonated and light. Overall it is an easy drinking saison. What it should be.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a semi-hazy to light transparent semi-burnt orange color to it. A one finger white foamy head dissipated within about thirty seconds leaving some messy lacing sticking and then sliding here and there.
The smell started off with some sweet grassy to citrus dryness. Light wheat strains in as it warms.
The taste was mainly sweet with a light bitterness sticking in there. Sticky sweet citrusy aftertaste leads into a semi-dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs smooth enough to allow sweet grassy/citrus combination sticking slightly on my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good saison that I would have again.

Keg at The Grove, Huddersfield. Hazy yellow shade. Short white head. Aroma is pithy fruits, creamy lemon pie, herby. Taste is light, quite tart and very drinkable and refreshing. Would be a great one to knock back on a summer’s day.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam skirts the cloudy blond.
-The body is very light and thus very drinkable.
-Citrusy fruitiness also increases drinkability.
-Every flavor is well integrated, yet few stand out.

Thanks to thirdeye11 for sharing this bottle. This was sampled alongside Upright 5, 6 and 7.
The beer pours a hazy light yellow color with a white head. The aroma is lemon, citrus, spices and coriander. The flavor is lemon and orange citrus with some wheat and spicy hops. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
